I bet you wouldn't have done shit at all if you were in Tooge's position. You would have mumbled something about one of your guns and then went home and jerked off while looking at one.

But didn't you just agree that it wasn't a fight?

It wasn't a brawl like you said in the OP but it was definitely a fight. You shouldn't have even let it escalate that far. I would be pissed if you coached my son. You should really be ashamed of yourself.

Well, u had to be there . This guy was verbally abusing all the coaches and I told him to leave. He didn't. In fact, he told me and one of the coaches to " **** off, you leave". All this was in front of the boys. The altercation wasn't. I apologized to the boys and all the parents after the game for having to witness the entire thing. They all clapped and said I did the right thing. Of course, they didn't see the physical part of it in the parking lot.
I'm not ashamed at all. I'm not letting some jackass swear at the coaches in front of the boys.

Should have started the kid. You guys are ruining his chance at being in the majors right out of high school.

I've seen people like that and when I officiated, I made a point to eject them so the parents and coaches didn't have to deal with it (I had a 12U tournament team league where I ejected 6 parents and a coach in like 90 seconds one time for starting shit with the other team). Next time go to the umpire and have him eject the ****er. Most leagues have explicit rules stating that type of behavior will not be tolerated. Usually those little leagues also have rules about the number of ejections too. Get the guy thrown out a couple times and let the league administrators handle it.

Like I said, I umped for damn near a decade. I've started coaching again recently and I used to help coach my youngest brother's teams when I was younger too. There are several ways to prevent that shit, and as someone else mentioned you should have left off the punch you in the teeth remark. Also, now that I coach, at the first practice I make a big speech that we are out there for the kids and I will not tolerate berating the kids, other team, or officials. Once the expectation is set, it goes a long way with the other parents policing each other's behavior.

Parents acting like jackasses at little league games is a huge pet peeve of mine. I'm pretty good at shaming those people into stopping that behavior since I've had to deal with it so much. I've had coaches try to fight me when I umped, and I've made them look so dumb that they later come up and apologized.

And 10U is usually the worst age group for that shit. I hated umping for that age group. All the parents think their kids are way better than they are. A lot of them don't know the game at all so it makes it even worse.
